Who hear is excited for the Chinese New Year?

Year of the Dragon

I'm half Chinese (on my mother's side) but she died when I was very young so I never really connected with that aspect of my heritage. But this year I want to change that.

My ancestors were Chinese too. It's the end finally. I'm not going to continue with a Chinese man either. My youngest aunt married to a big Chinese family. She had a hard time. For my household, it's mostly me to help my mom preparing and cleaning for New Year and Ching Ming every year. Not anymore. So exhausted.

I love the pic by the way. Nice colors!

Thank you for the MHO. Have a nice day. 😊

My boyfriend's family celebrate it and its one of my favourite holidays. However much like Christmas last year, my anxiety and depression is too bad to enjoy it.

So I will most likely lock myself away in our bedroom again and say I'm unwell. Plus his sister just had a baby and I can't be round that rn 😔

There's some pressure you can feel like being compared, right? Some relatives are okay but some would constantly gaslight other members. The competitions among families are silly. I think people should support and comfort each other, not the opposite.

Take care.
